National Academy for Digital Skills
Greece has made significant progress in improving its digital skills over the past few years. The
country's digital skills score is now 40.1 on the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI 2022), which
is slightly below the EU average of 44.2. However, there is still more work to be done to address the
digital divide and ensure that all Greeks have the skills they need to succeed in the future workplace.
A good practice in the country is the National Academy of Digital Skills, founded in 2021, has the
aim of constituting the national portal for all digital training providers, both public and private,
hosting, at the moment, approximately 300 courses and aiming to augment its collection of online
courses as a way to enable everyone in the country to acquire basic, intermediate, and advanced
digital skills.
Under this framework, a self-assessment tool is provided in order for people to be able to determine
their individual learning paths. Adding to that, the Ministry of Digital Governance is processing a
national digital competence framework and a certification system for digital skills in line with the
European digital competence framework.
